were getting happy, Macon prohibition having
begun to get in its work. At one O'Clock the
line of veterans, under command OF mayor
William Henry Ross, began to form on Null

sight to see the manned and battle-scarred
veterans as they fell into line. Almost all OF
the southern states were represented, but

A courier was sent ahead to inform Captain
Johnston of the approach of the column. A
heavy and comfortable armchair had been
placed upon the veranda, and as the head OF
the procession was seen rounding the foot of

ladies on either side. His appearance was the
signal for loud cheering, and the crowds at the
foot of the HILL disregarding the admonitions
of the two policemen who were supposed to
keep the crowds back, clambered over the
fence and charged up the hill. Each tried to

The "swan song OF the confedoracy," the
last review Of the confederate veterans by the
man who was their chief, was a grand success,
and the men who followed through the for
tunes OF war the stars and bars were here in
force TO do honor to that former chieftain. The
weather was decidedly unpropitious, bat here,

great deal of confusion this morning, and for
a long time 1t was impossible to learn just
what the programme for the day would be
1t was at first intended that the review by MIR.
Davis should take place at the fair grounds at
noon but rs the rain continued to fall and the
wind kept blowing at rapid rate
through the whiskers OF the bearded
veterans who thronged the streets,
the friends of Mr.. Davis advised against the
exposure which would result from drive to
the fair grounds and open air exercises. Then
1t was announced that the review would be
postponed until tomorrow. This caused a
howl of disappointment. Many of the visitors
came here with the expectation of returning
to their homes tonight, and they would not
listen to any proposition of postponement.

arranged that the veterans should march
by Captain Johnston's house, where Mr.. Davis
would be at one of the windows.
Gan we want is to see him., they said, and
it was arranged that they should do this, at
least. AT eleven o'clock the committee Of
young men went to Hillcrest to present badges

Governor Gordon was frequently interrupt
ed by wild cheering. At the conclusion of his
remarks, the
HAND SHAKING WAS RESUMED.
1t was soon apparent that there would be no
end to this if the veterans were allowed to have
their own way and arrangements were quietly
made to get Mr.. Davis in the house. A window
back of him was opened, and through it he
walked into the sitting room. Mrs. Davis,
Miss Winnie and Mrs. Hays, soon followed,
the daughters preceding their mother.
Governor Gordon and Senator Colqu t, were
compelled to keep up the shaking for some
time They, too, left, but still the crowd
fingered. After a few minutes, Mr..

without particular event. Tie streets were
quite full Of people and at different places
along the route there was considerable enthu-

there was a good deal OF cheering by the
crowds.

After more music from the band, President
Northcn introduced Colonel Tom Hardenan,
who, with the eloquonce for which he is so
justly noted, introduced the ladies TO the vast
crowd, and then, on the part Of Macon citizens,
presented to Mrs. Davis a beautiful silver bowl.
He said:

compassion blended-a feeling which
the pitlable appearance of the unhappy
wretch, who had, but few moments
before. stood erect in the daring and
dreadful defiance of desperate guilt,
could not but excite even in the bosom
of those whom he had most deeply in

old man continued, ''drew one drop of

The old Palatine shook his head. and
replaced his hat upon his brow, while
the remainder of the spectators raised
the body for the purpose of removing
it to the house of the nearest cottager.
Slowly, and in silence, they took their
way towards Drumscalon. They could
perceive, by the rapid manner in which
the lights passed from window to win
dow. that the confusion, occasioned by
the occurrences of the last hour, had not

hall was wet with the dripping of hats
and great-coats, and two or three of the
guests, needless of the pelting rain
which still descended, were engaged in
whispering consultation on the gravel
plot outside. AS they passed the kitch-
en- door, they heard the voice of James
Mihil, who, in the attitude of Demos
themes, was employed with all his
might in harangueing one of the Coin

they had succeeded in experimenting.
